What Causes Leg Pain?
Pain in the hip, knee or lower leg can make everyday activities hard, but it doesn’t have to stop you from doing what you love. Many people with hip pain have arthritis, which includes osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Other common causes are hip strain and bursitis. Some may even need rehab after hip replacement surgery. Knee pain can come from different areas of the body, like the hips or ankles, not just the knee itself. Ankle pain can be due to flattened arches or changes in hip biomechanics. A physical therapist looks at how your whole body moves to find the real cause of the pain.
